Introduction
Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the anther (male part)
to the stigma (female part) of a flower, enabling fertilization and the formation of
seeds. It is a vital reproductive process in flowering plants and ensures the
continuation of plant species.
Types of Pollination
1. Self-Pollination:
- Occurs within the same flower or between flowers of the same plant.
- Types: Autogamy (same flower), Geitonogamy (different flowers of same plant)

2. Cross-Pollination:
- Occurs between flowers of different plants of the same species.
- Promotes genetic diversity and adaptability.
Agents of Pollination
1. Abiotic Agents:
- Wind (Anemophily): Seen in maize, grasses.
- Water (Hydrophily): Seen in aquatic plants like Vallisneria.

2. Biotic Agents:
- Insects (Entomophily): Bees, butterflies.
- Birds (Ornithophily): Hummingbirds.
- Bats (Chiropterophily): Nocturnal pollination.
Adaptations in Flowers
- Bright colors and fragrance to attract insects.
- Nectar as a reward for pollinators.
- Sticky or spiny pollen for attachment to animals.
- Light, non-sticky pollen and feathery stigma in wind-pollinated flowers.
Importance of Pollination
- Leads to fertilization and seed formation.
- Essential for fruit and crop production.
- Maintains biodiversity.
- Crucial for ecosystem balance.
Conclusion
Pollination is a fundamental process in plant reproduction. It not only supports
agricultural productivity but also maintains natural ecosystems. Understanding
pollination helps in conservation efforts and in ensuring food security.
